Pumaspeed X-37 Hybrid Turbo Thread

[PBST03]

Turbo is installed and now jut sitting in the garage waiting for a tune! I want to drive it soooo bad. Pete helped me with the install. Went really smooth. He also put on my Mountune rsr brake kit with rbf 600 fluid. Time to get those babies cooking.

Just got mine installed and it's blowing buckets of oil out of the exhaust. I'm pretty frustrated.

Sounds like bad seals.

It's leaking so bad it's like there's no seal there at all.

I'm sure all your bolts were tight. Did you make sure to tighten all the bolts and feel them crunch down on the new gaskets? I'll start mine up monday to verify.

Unless he left plastic or something in the return drain, that likely has nothing to do with it since it's coming out of his exhaust.

Wow that's exactly what I did. I feel like an idiot haha, guess I shouldn't have been working on it after 4 hrs of sleep

Hopefully I didn't mess the seals up. I only let it run for about 30 seconds.

I hope you didn't just cost yourself a rebuild

Oops, I read it wrong. If its coming out of his exhaust then I agree with you. Looks like he solved the issue. Still, make sure you take a good look at it. Hopfully everything is ok.

 

[dave_f]

Yea I'm stressing a bit. What a stupid mistake.

x-37 installed Wednesday into Thursday morning, took about 7 hours from start to finish, with a downpipe installed at the same time. install went incredibly smooth, and [MENTION=3805]Tune+[/MENTION] was already on top of having the base tune in my e-mail before we even started. 2 revisions in on 93, and the car feels amazing, seems to pull nicely all the way to redline. Can't wait to finish up the 93 tune so we can move on to e30!

I have seen this happen before, plugs left in the drain and the oil is forced passed the seals. Your turbo should be ok because the seals are similar to a piston ring in design and survive without damage.

Awesome news. Can't wait to get my base tune . I'm hoping I'll get one monday. It's gonna be a very long weekend .

Looks like I missed Adam on friday. Car is garage ridden till hopfully monday. This is the longest weekend of my life. Put a ton of new parts on including the x37 and it's just sitting. Patience is a virtue. I won't start up the car until I have the tune. I want to make sure there are no issues. Call me super paranoid but I've heard horror stories.

You can start the car. You can drive it too. Nothing's gonna happen to it unless you start beating on it. I've had quite a few turbo upgrades on different cars and driven hem without a time. As long as your not into he boost too much or drive it really aggressively, you'll be fine. It's not like if you start it up the cars gonna blow up or something. Remember this car is on stock fueling with a stock size turbo replacement. It's not like you're running a big fuel pump and large injectors and running a huge turbo. I understand being cautious, but you're worrying too much.

Thanks.

My issue is I live in the mountains so to get home I have to climb up the mountains, in boost of course. So basically I have no need to drive it until it's tuned. I might fire it up tomorrow. We will see. By then I might have a tune anyways lol

question for those who have installed and driven on their x37. During install (we haven't started the car and if we have to I will uninstall to fix this) did any of you swap these plugs from the oem turbo to the x37. The x37 we got had black plugs (hence why I am questioning) and I didn't even touch them to see if they were plastic or metal. If they are metal yay we are good to go, if plastic then I get to jump in a lengthy process again. In the picture I am referring to the plugs with the allen key in them. On the OEM turbo they are pretty stuck on there.
